HINGE.A

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 472,622, dated April 12, 1892.

Application filed January 26, 1892. Serial No. 419,301. (No model.)

T a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT LINKLETTER, of Jersey City, Hudson county, New Jersey, have invented an Improved Hinge, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a hinge which per' mits the lid to revolve and also to drop. Thus the hinge is particularly adapted for the lids over the panel-backs of pockets that receive sliding inside blinds and for similar purposes.

The invention consists in the various features of improvement more fully pointed out in the claim.

I section of the hinge, and Fig. 7 a side view of the hinge-leaf b. Y

The hinge is composed of two leaves a b. The leaf d is a plate provided with an elongated slot a near. one end, and having the lower edge turned inwardly, as at a2, to form a rail. The leaf I) is composed of a plate provided with a laterally-projecting eccentric pivot c, that is received by the elongated slot d. That end of the leaf b that carries the eccentric pivot is laterally extended t-o form a curved projection b. The leaf b is countersunk into the edge of the lid d, closing over the pocket e of a window-frame f. The leaf d is secured by screws to the guideways f of such frame. The pocket serves for the reception of the blinds g when lowered, and to inclosel the blinds within the pocket the lid CZ Fig. 5, the pivot c will occupy the uppermost end of slot d', While the leaves a h will be placed side by side. In opening the lid the projection b moves first outward along the rails d2 until the parts arrive at the position v.shown in Fig.V 4, after which the pivot c will drop down in the slot.

lt will be observed that this hinge,in addition to the peculiarity in its operation and the Vconsequent advantage of allowing a revolution and also a lowering of the lid d, possesses the advantage of being exceedingly narrow laterally, thus permitting its application to straight and also to segmental (rounded) window-frames.

What l claim is- A hinge composed of leaf d, having an inwardly-turned lower edge d2 and an elongated slot d', with a leaf b, having a projection b to engage the edge a2 and a pivot c to engage the elongated slot, substantially as specified.

ROBERT LINKLETTER.
